Course Appetizer, Side Dish Cuisine American, Healthy, Vegan, Vegetarian Keyword Air Fryer Carrots Prep Time 15 minutes minutes Cook Time 8 minutes minutes Total Time 23 minutes minutes Servings 4 servings Chelsea Lords Calories 78kcal Author Chelsea Lords EquipmentAir Fryer Ingredients▢ 1 pound carrots, peeled and sliced on the diagonal (3 cups)▢ 1 tablespoon good quality olive oil▢ ¾ teaspoon salt▢ ⅛ teaspoon pepper▢ ¼ teaspoon paprika & garlic powder▢ Optional garnish: 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley or 2 tsp. fresh thyme InstructionsPREP: Peel and then slice carrots on the diagonal; each diagonal cut you make should be about 1 inch apart. Measure to ensure you have 3 full cups.SEASON: Add the carrots to a separate bowl (not in the air fryer basket). Drizzle with oil and add all the seasonings, tossing thoroughly for an even coating.AIR FRY: Without any food in it, preheat the Air Fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 4 minutes. Arrange the seasoned carrots in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap. (If you have too many carrots to fit in a single layer, cook them in batches.)AIR FRY: Air fry for 8-13 minutes. Halfway through, shake the basket and rearrange the carrots into a single layer again for even cooking.CHECK DONENESS: Carrots are done when they are tender inside with a slightly crisp and charred exterior. Due to variance in air fryer models, if the carrots aren’t sufficiently crispy after 13 minutes, continue air frying, checking every 1-2 minutes.SERVE: Taste and, if needed, season with an additional pinch of salt. Serve hot, straight from the air fryer, garnished with fresh parsley or thyme if desired. Recipe NotesOil Usage: It's important not to reduce the quantity of olive oil, as it ensures the carrots achieve the desired crispiness. Slicing carrots: For uniform cooking, make sure to slice the carrots into equally sized pieces.
